When you ask God to search your heart, be prepared to get wrecked! When we asked to have our hearts searched, we are seeking The Lord to cleanse us and remove from us that which has been holding us back from being closer to Him and more like Him. When you ask, be prepared to find out things about yourself that you either were trying to deny or was plain ol’ oblivious to. These last couple of months God has shown me myself and let me tell you, it’s no fun; well minus the hidden spiritual gifts I’ve learned that He’s placed inside of me. I decided to share a few things God is teaching and showing me that not only myself but we as believers must let go of in order to truly live free and for God.

Letting go of your “idea of something”.

One thing that I want to touch on first is letting go of the “idea of something”. Meaning letting go of your idea of how something is supposed to happen, how your plans will turn out, how things will be, how you will get married, how you will walk into your blessing. I have struggled and apparently still do, struggle with letting go of my idea on how things will play out in my life. If I want to stress myself out or ride an emotional roller coaster, then having this particular expectation about something will surely do it.

Today as I was spending time with God, I realized that a lot of my emotional distress, disappointments, and stumbling blocks come from when something isn’t going how I expect or when something else happens other than what I imagined. You see where I’m getting at; I cause myself to have enlarged troubles because I’m trying to lead my own life instead of letting God put the pieces together in my life. When I surrendered my life over to God, that included my plans, visions, desires, and “ideas of things”. When I pick them back up, I’m picking back up the heavy burden I gave to God in exchange for His peace and His Will (Psalm 55:22). You are giving away God’s peace within you when you try to take control over your life by creating this ideal life for yourself and how things play out. Which leads me to another thing to let go of.

Letting go of control and having everything figured out!

Now this is something that takes time to master but with the grace of God and the Holy Spirit, it can be done. Well how, you may ask, I’ll say by simply taking life ONE DAY AT A TIME! Yes, it’s that simple yet hard when if you’re like me, like to have your life planned out. However, if you look to the Word of God, it states that there are many plans in a man’s heart, but it’s the Lord’s purpose that will come to pass (Proverbs 19:21). So that means that if what you are planning is not in God’s will, it may not happen unless you step out and live according to your own will. (Which correlates to the first one “Letting go of expectations”). Now don’t get me wrong, it’s important to plan and have goals, but you have to make sure that on this very day, you are in God’s peace and His Will. If you remain in Him, He will establish your plans, but again, according to His Will (Proverbs 16:3). So you have to be okay with praying and submitting your desires and plans to God, then taking your hands completely off your life and watching Him work.

Today God reminded me that He has already predestined everything to happen in my life and what is in His will for me will come to pass; the promises, the ministry, the career, the husband, the family, the blessings (natural and spiritual), they will all come at its appointed time. HOWEVER, what I do on this very day, determines what happens next. If I fall into temptation and become disobedient, I will delay the blessings, I may even mess up a blessing if I am not mature enough for it.

So in this very moment, God wants you to live in this day, in this moment, surrendered and submitting to His will and living a life right now pleasing in His sight. Don’t worry about tomorrow because tomorrow already has enough going on. The Lord can come back anytime and you want to make sure you are always prepared and not stressing over temporary things. Don’t get so focused on planning ahead and trying to control how your life plays out that you miss out on the blessings and lessons of today. Which brings me to another thing to let go of.

Letting go of people pleasing.

When you stop worrying about what others think about you, what others have to say, their opinion on your life, you will be free from people bondage. People bondage is no joke and very real, and it hold a lot of us back from fully living the life God has destined for us. People will always have something to say, good and bad, but it is up to you to determine if you will let them lead your life or God. One area I strongly had a people bondage problem in, was my church life. I didn’t grow up in the church, so I had no idea about different denominations and church doctrines, I just thought you pick a church and go to it. Thank God for His wisdom, His Spirit, and maturity because it was only a year or two ago when I was a lost sheep being swayed back and forth between different churches because I was relying on man’s opinion to lead me and guide me, instead of God. My church story is a book in itself, which I’ll share one day, but long story short, I decided to do what God wanted me to do and ever since then I’ve been free. God gave me instructions but He had to let me decide for myself if I was going to continue to please men or Him (Galatians 1:10). God wants you to decide if you are going to continue to please men or Him? Are you going to allow your parents, friends, church family, people in general to lead you and pour their plans for your life in you? Or will you trust God and obey His personal commands and calling in your life even when others are against you?

These a few I was led to share and I will share more as The Lord leads because there were a lot, but I didn’t want an extremely long post.

When we let go of certain habits and mindsets, we will obtain God’s goodness and His best for our lives. Whoever wants to control his life, save his life, and create his own way will lose out and lose his life. Whoever lets go, surrender, give up his ways and his mindset, will gain life, a new life.

“Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.”

You were made for a much bigger purpose than where you are now in life. God has greater opportunities ahead of you, if only you would believe. If only you knew what was on the other side of your obedience. If only you knew how far you can go with a little more faith, and a little less fear; with a little more commitment in surrendering your life to Jesus and accepting the life God has for you and a little less trying to control and hold on to what is dead.

“He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.” Matthew 10:39 NKJV

Jesus came down from Heaven, so that you can have the life God predestined for you to have! Don’t you know God loves you! So why are you going around doubting yourself and your purpose?

Maybe you feel you must have it all together first. Well I am here to tell you, you don’t have to have it all together for God to use you. God used plenty of messed up people, but He seen them fit for the purpose and assignment at hand. Those individuals were willing to be obedient. Just as He called them in the middle of their mess, God is calling you in the middle of your chaotic life, to simply say “yes” to His will and His way. He is looking for a “yes”, to the assignment He has chosen you for. You have to be willing and able to be obedient. Even to the point where God says to be patient. Be patient for that job, opportunity, relationship, house, car, business move, friendship, and spiritual blessings.

You ALSO have to be willing to follow up that “yes”, with action. Faith without works to back it up is dead.

You have to move when God instructs and leads you to. There is something on the other side of your obedience.

Maybe He is leading you to start that business, have faith and move with your ministry, work on your relationships, forgive so and so, fast, pray, study the Word, serve, give, whatever the case may be. You have to obey, when He says, not on your timing. Delayed obedience is disobedience.

Obey God’s instructions. You have no idea what lies on the other side of your obedience. God is calling you higher, and that will require much out of you, but it will be worth.

“For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.” Luke 12:48 NKJV

God will not require you to sacrifice something for nothing. Whether that be you time, desire, comfort zone, etc. God would not be hard on you if He didn’t see you fit for such a time as this. There is a process to getting to where God has predestined for you to go. So you may have to give up some things, mindsets, old ways, negative people, opportunities that seem right to you, time, disbelief, control, etc. In order to get to get there you have to give God a “yes“, to what He is asking of you.

Everything happens for a reason, I am a firm believer in that. With that being said, it, meaning “everything”, will all make sense one day. What you are going through right now will not last forever. You will make it and come out with a changed mind and different perspective. I know that each day may be harder than the last, but as each day progresses, your strength is being renewed, your focus is being redefined, and your wounds are being healed. You have to trust that God is going to turn it around for your good. There have been many instances when I felt there was no hope. I believed that what I was going through was it. I started to believe the lies that I just dealt a bad hand in life, the devil is a liar! Now I look back and even to this day, everything that I have been through, recent and going back years ago, I thank God for those tough times. I thank God for bringing me through and allowing it to make me who I am on this very day. As I started clinging more to God, He gave me understanding as to why I had to go through them. My yesterday prepared me for my today, and I can surely say that I am not the woman I was a year ago, a month ago, a week ago, or even yesterday.

I remember about five years ago; I went through a really bad break up. It was to the point I became depressed and it seeped into my work life, school life, and personal life. What really made me angry was the simple fact that the last thing he (my ex), told me was and I quote, “This will only make you stronger!” What!? I was furious, like what do you mean this will make me stronger? That wasn’t what I wanted to hear at that time. I just couldn’t believe what was happening and after that he dropped off the face of the earth and ignored every phone call, text, and email. I never heard from him again, even to this day. I thought life was over. I thought I couldn’t love again. I just thought so many negative and hopeless things. Never would I have thought his words would stick to me. Never would I have thought going through that would prepare me and make me stronger. He was right, it did make me stronger and also wiser! The Lord turned that situation around for my good and taught me things about myself I had no idea I struggled with. I realized my unfiltered mouth mixed with my insecurities were my faults and downfalls. I realized he definitely was not the one for me, we weren’t really compatible in a sense of him being someone I can actually marry. I needed a leader and someone who was opposite of me, that could bring me out my comfort zone. Only thing we had in common was we were both quiet (that wasn’t going to work), loved the Lord (barely), and loved music. I also realized that I could love again. Had he not broken my heart, I wouldn’t have seen what I needed to see with a clear mind. Though I was still a hot mess, because I was definitely fake saved at the time, I learned valuable lessons in that pain. What’s funny is that now when I go through heartaches, “This will only make you stronger“, pops in my mind.

We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 NKJV

Another story where it all made sense after the fact. I was working at this one job about two years, and it was my first “good paying” job. I was so excited because everything was going good in my eyes. Let me point out that, I had dedicated my life to Christ earlier that year and started to really indulge in my word. So I was saved this time and just felt the Lord was blessing me with a good job. I started hanging out with my coworkers and they were pretty much party goers, club hoppers, happy hour turned into a night full of alcohol crowd. I knew this wasn’t where I was supposed to be, like I had just decided to become serious with Christ, what am I doing. However, I joined in on the fun and was having worldly fun on Fridays and praising the Lord on Sundays. Not too long after I received a phone call and pretty much was laid off, “We are doing budget cuts and your position is one of them”. My heart fell out, not literally but it felt like it. Mind you I was already down and out because I became involved with a guy from church who basically was just interested in my body, and eventually broke my heart, but needless to say, I was a huge work in progress. I was literally over everything because I was just tired of being let down. Yet I was letting God down with my lukewarm actions. Going through all those emotions was hard and unbearable but God had a plan and it was His will for it all to happen. Now I look back and God revealed to me that He needed me out of that job, had I stayed there, I would have resorted back to what He was saving me from. I couldn’t be around those people, I wasn’t spiritually stong enough to fathom the attacks that were upon my life because there was and is a calling on my life. I couldn’t afford to taint the calling God placed inside of me. He needed to save me for His purpose. When God told me that, I cried like a baby and thanked Him. See I didn’t understand what was going on, but it all eventually made sense.

I shared a few of my experiences to encourage you to hold on, and don’t be discouraged. Though trouble comes your way, don’t let it stir you to accepting that this is your life. God has plan and purpose for you and what you are faced with today, will help shape you for tomorrow. God will not leave you in the midst of it all, He will cover you and grace you through it. One scripture that really helps me when I am faced with tough times is,

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge him and He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV

That lets me know that my understanding of this is not applicable because I’m in my emotions and feelings and not looking at it through God’s eyes. I didn’t understand that this will birth something new in me; patience, character, strength, confidence, dignity, self worth, etc. I didn’t understand that this will mature what has been in me all along. You will be surprised at how much you can grow in a short amount of time when something happens in your life meant to bring you down. Not only will it cause you to cling to God, but it will cause you to grow into the strong person God has created you to be. You will look back and see your growth and lessons you learned through each trying experience, and thank God for it all!

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NKJV

When I recently went shopping I felt like an old lady. I felt everything was “too short”, “too revealing“, or “too cropped”. There was this one dress I tried on and immediately thought, “Ummm, this is not something a woman of God can wear”. I kept asking myself like “where is all the classy stuff, goodness are they shrinking the clothing???”

What’s funny is that I used to wear all that revealing type of clothing and justify it as, “It’s just fashion”. As I started getting closer to God, He started personally convicting me of how I was presenting myself. I loved fashion, still do, but I wasn’t putting biblical standards to thought then. I wasn’t looking like a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). How can I proclaim to be a godly woman, yet I’m wearing things that are saying otherwise? So I eventually had to get rid of all of my mini dresses, crop tops and short shorts and fell in love with long maxi dresses and comfy cardigans. I had to change and be set apart by covering up and dressing like a wholesome church girl (lol).

…”in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, …”1 Timothy 2:9 NKJV

Today, I LOVE modest clothing. I love dressing in a way that exemplifies a godly woman, that not only honors God, but it will also show respect for my future husband. See, the world is all about revealing everything, but God wants us to start concealing our precious body and covering up (Romans 12:2). Our body should only be uncovered for our husbands. We shouldn’t be walking around showing cleavage, every single curve, or showing off our thighs; like leave something for your husband to look forward to. If you practice dressing modestly and classy now, you eliminate causing your brothers in Christ to stumble by being presented your revealed goodies. In my opinion, the longer the better and the more covered up, the better. You’d actually be surprised at how many cute modest outfits you can put together. One tool I’ve used was Pinterest!

I say all this to remind you that your body is a temple of the Most High and you should strive to glorify Him with it, instead of showing it off. I know in today’s world modesty is looked down upon. Behaving with good morals and dressing in a respectful manner, is down upon. You may feel you will be overlooked by that guy you like, you won’t fit into what’s “trending” this season, you won’t stand out among your friends, or society says that modesty is boring, but why does any of that matter? God will reward you for the little sacrifices you make here on this earth. God called you to be set apart, so that means looking like this world may be out the question.

As you grow in Christ, you will realize that how you present yourself, matters. I know for me, before I matured in Christ, I didn’t know dressing modestly was important. I felt that clothing was fashion, I am expressing myself, it shouldn’t matter what I wear because God sees my heart. Well that is true, God sees my heart, but He also seen that I was more into pleasing others and my flesh with my style, than Him.
I’m not saying there is a certain way to dress, and I am not saying if you dress any other way you are wrong. What I am implying is that as a Christian woman, you should take in consideration what you wear. Ask yourself before you walk out the house, “Am I revealing too much? Is what I am wearing glorifying God or my body? What type of guys will I attract wearing this?” You may think that is doing too much, but can we really do too much for God? I believe a lot of us do too little. Jesus died on the cross for us, the least we can do if we call ourselves Christians, is allow the Holy Spirit to guide us in presenting ourselves to God, our entire being, including how we dress, as holy, sanctified, and an example of what a woman of God should look like.

Dressing modestly is an outward result of an inward change, attributing to the godliness inside of you.

In this life, we are bound to encounter unexpected situations such as loss, termination, being laid off, heartbreak, failures, or whatever meant to bring us down, and how we respond to them can make us or break us. When we are faced with unexpected changes and events, we have to find the strength from within to respond with a sound mind. Here are three responding ways that I have learned along in life that I hope can encourage you.

Quick message: I believe there are a lot of Christians who doubt the true power of the Holy Spirit. There are many beliefs and different doctrines on how one receives it and whether it is necessary to have. Well let’s look to the Word.

According to Acts 2:38 one can receive the Holy Spirit after repentance, and being baptized,

“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:38 KJV

According to Luke 3:16, only God can baptize you with His Spirit, not a pastor, or a scripted prayer, but God Himself.

“John answered, saying unto [them] all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:” Luke 3:16 KJV

According to Luke 11:13, one shall receive, if they ask God, because it is a gift and God will hold no good gift from those who belong to Him.

“If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?” Luke 11:13 KJV

According to John 3:5 , one can not enter into the Kingdom of God without it.

“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” John 3:5 KJV

According to Acts 1:8, and Joel 2:28, one shall receive heavenly power as a benefit of having the Holy Spirit.

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Acts 1:8 KJV

“And it shall come to pass afterward, [that] I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions..” Joel 2:28 KJV

According to Acts 2:4, one shall speak in an unknown tongue (speaking in tongues, praying in tongues), once they have received it.

“And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” KJV

According to Romans 8:26, The Holy Spirit intercedes on our behalf to pray what we do not know to pray.

“Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” Romans 8:26 KJV

So according to scripture, the Holy Spirit is very important, very powerful, and very much necessary in our Christian walk. One thing I love about the Holy Spirit, is the intercession is does for me. There are times when I catch myself repetitive praying and running out of words because I am focused on one issue when there is so many other things I need to pray for. The Holy Spirit comes in and intercedes and it is such a beautiful experience. Praying in the Spirit (praying in tongues), is such an intimate and freeing feeling. When I pray in the Spirit, I feel the weight lifted off me and the power of God’s Spirit inside of me going to work.

When you pray in the Spirit you are building an intimate connection with God. You are allowing the Holy Spirit to intercede on your behalf on things going on in the spiritual realm that you aren’t even aware of. That’s why it’s vital in your Christian walk to be baptized and filled with Holy Ghost (Spirit), with the evidence of speaking in tongues! It is important because we are living in a time where there’s so much going on spiritually that needs to be dealt with, but we are more focused and worried about what’s going on in the natural realm. When you pray in the Spirit you are operating in faith and moving out of the way with your selfish, repetitive redundant prayers ( that has God heard a million times already) and allowing what you don’t know what to pray for to be released. Sometimes we can get so repetitive in our prayers and ask for the same thing a million times to the point we start displeasing God in prayer and we forget to pray for the important things.

“But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.” Matthew 6:7 KJV

We think well if we pray about this specific thing three times in prayer, God will definitely hear us. That is not operating in faith, He heard you the first time. In these instances, it is so good to have the Holy Spirit. I personally thank God for His Spirit and I personally think it is the best gift besides life because it helps us to stay connected to Him.

So I encourage you, if you have not already received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, to seek God and make sure you have repented of any sin and ask Him for His precious gift. If you have it, Praise God, spend more time soaking in God’s presence and allow The Spirit to takeover. Don’t get afraid, but rather embrace. I used to be afraid until God had to show me to embrace it and let it flow 🙂

I want to share something very important, and I want to make sure I make this very clear. There is a narrow gate to Heaven and there is a wide gate to Hell. Very few are able to make it through that narrow gate because they forget that there is only one way through it, and that is Jesus. There are a lot of religions, teachings, beliefs, and doctrines that states differently. However today I want to let you know that Jesus is not a way to Heaven. Jesus is THE WAY to Heaven; Jesus is the ONLY way. There is no one else that can save you! There is no secret formula, no other religion, no amount of money or “good deeds”, that can get you in with the Father. Only Jesus Himself can give you access, which He stated in John 14:6:

“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

There is no other name, not Muhammad, not Buddha, or any other name, only Jesus the Christ. See God sent Jesus into this world because He loved us and wanted to give us a chance at life, eternal life. The only way we have that chance is by believing in Jesus and obeying what He commands. (John 3:16, 36). If we fail to do that we miss out on a beautiful life after this temporary world passes. We cannot claim we know God, but we don’t believe in Jesus. Jesus is Lord, Jesus is love, Jesus is the Son of God, and Jesus is the mediator between God and man. So with all that said, there is no other way to The Father and there is no other way to Heaven, except through Jesus the Christ.

If you have not given your life to Christ but you are ready for a change, ready to be free from sin and bondage, all you have to do is call on Jesus.; His blood still works. Ask Jesus to forgive you from your sins and then ask Him to come into your heart. Confess that you believe in Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.

If you have any questions or need some encouragement or help to take the next step in giving your life to Christ, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Even if you want to share your testimony, I’m here.

If you are reading this, I pray that The Lord blesses your soul and draws you even more closer to His Will and purpose for your life.

Trusting God, means you have to let go of your own understanding. Trusting God, means walking by faith and not by sight. Trusting God, means taking a risk and stepping out of the boat of your comfort zone. Trusting God means walking in obedience when commanded and not when it is convenient to you. Trusting God means enduring the trials with patience and humility. There is more to trusting God than just boldly confessing it with your mouth, your actions have to back up what you so “confidently” speak. At least that is what I have learned and am still learning about putting my trust in Jesus.

A scripture that has been constantly spoken to me by God is Proverbs 3:5, which simply reminds me to Trust in the Lord with my entire heart, leaning not to my own understanding. I do not know about you, but my understanding of things can be a bit dramatic, over reacted, hopeless, messed up, excuses, (I mean I can go on and on), etc. If I say I trust God, then I must shut my mind up with all its crazy thoughts sometimes; well most of the time. Sometimes what we think is far from the truth and the enemy can feed us lies that can cause doubt, fear, anxiety, worst case scenarios or add to the nonsense already in our minds. God tells us to instead of trusting our own ways and facts, trust in Him with everything in us. So that means we may not get the answer we are looking for or we may not know why certain people or things were removed from our lives but if we trust in the Lord, everything will work out for our good because He loves us. Trusting God means we may have to step out at His command without the next instruction.

Walking by faith and not by sight is something I have not yet mastered, but I am getting there little by little with a few to maybe a million questions that most of the time don’t get answered until I am where God wants me to be to receive what is next. It is hard to walk by faith and NOT by sight but it is required. See our sight, what we see, will lie to us, fail us, and make us believe that this is where we will be forever. It will make us believe that it’s too hard and risky. If we walk by sight, we won’t move until we feel it’s safe and not risky, but life is about taking risks. We can’t wait until the water is still before stepping out of the boat of our comfort zone. We have to fix our eyes on Jesus and believe that as we step forward, He is there, in front of us, with His hands on us, guiding us. We have to trust God and His ways. When God calls us out of our comfort zones, we will know. I knew God was calling me out of my comfort zone and He has been for a while in many different areas of my life, but I will admit I was afraid. I mean who isn’t terrified to leave comfortability? It is a place where you can just rest, be yourself, and can just do the bare minimum. However, let me reveal to you what that looks like to God… Your comfort zone is a place where you can be lazy, idle, hide, be stagnant, and hinder your growth. God wants more out of you; much is required from you. If you are reading this, God wants more out of you and for you! Your comfort zone is doing nothing but giving you cheap thrills and experiences but it’s not growing you into God’s will. God wants you to step out of the boat and on the water. Yes, it is risky, but you will never know what is out there for you if you stay in the boat. You will get to witness everyone else’s experiences but you will miss out on your own. There could be a job, a spouse, an open door for your ministry, a higher spiritual experience out there on the other side of your step forward with faith. But, you will never know until you trust God and walk by faith and not by sight at His command.

One thing I have learned today is that I can’t keep pushing back what God wants me to do or choose to do. I can’t keep walking by faith and trusting Him when it is convenient to me. I know everyone else acts on God’s command immediately without hesitation or questions 🙂 . I know I’m the only one that hesitates and questions God until I feel He is two seconds from hitting me upside the head with His glory (lol). No, but seriously, an act of faith is walking in obedience at God’s commanded time and not on your own time. Delayed obedience is disobedience. If God has given you an instruction to act upon, don’t procrastinate or delay it until you are ready to do it because it shows disrespect to God and it shows your lack of trust in Him. We must humble ourselves and rebuke pride because if we walk around without humility and full of pride, we will never amount to what God called us to. We must be filled with patience and humility and remember that we were made from God. What we go through will strengthen us and prepare us for what God has purposed us to do.

Some may say that it’s not easy trusting someone they have never seen, but if you have a relationship with God, then you have seen Him. You have seen Him in the healings, miracles, deliverance, newness, experiences you’ve encountered, you have seen God. You have seen Him enough to have a sense of matured faith that is able to trust Him as you journey through life to your destiny. Trusting God means we endure what we are going through in life, with humility that God is who He says He is and that He will not leave or forsake us in the middle of the storm. That when we step out of our comfort zone and on the water, His supernatural power will keep us and our minds as it starts to wonder and understand what is going on. Even if you start to wonder and understand what is going on around you or you step out and fall, you have to trust God enough that He will not let you drown. He will surely grab your hands and pull you back up. I have to daily remind myself to not lean on my own understanding but to trust God, and I want to encourage you to do the same by taking it a day at a time, faith by faith, step by step.

Stop seeking for a man and seek God. A lot of women are so concerned about marriage and dating that they forget the ultimate wedding is with our bridegroom Jesus Christ. Pray this message inspires someone to seek more of God and less of a godly man. You will be found when it’s time. (Proverbs 18:22)
